ENTERED ACCORDING TO ACT OF CONGRESS, IN THE YEAR 1841, 

BY ROBERT MILLS, 

IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE DIS. 



TRICT OF COLUMBIA. 



INTRODUCTORY. 



The author of this little work has been induced 
to undertake it from its acknowledged utility. Eve- 
ry one having business with the Public Offices, or 
Capitol, whether stranger or resident, is sensible 
of the difficulty of locating the different bureaus 
in their buildings, and more particularly the offi- 
cers and clerks attached to those bureaus. The 
nature of the information contained in this work 
will tend to remove this difficulty, and afford to 
all the means of identifying both the building and 
the room occupied by every officer doing business* 
therein. 

In connection with a brief description of each ex- 
ecutive building, is a diagram plan of the same, with 
each room numbered, the numbers applying to each 
floor, consecuti vel y. T he officers and clerks of eac h 
department being alphabetically arranged, and fol- 
lowing in the order of the departments to which 
they belong, will be easily found, and opposite to 
their name, in the margin, is the number of the 
room in the diagram, on first, second, or third floor, 
as the case may be. 

The key to the business rooms in the Capitol is 
in the numbers and labels over the doors of the 
several committee rooms; these being given, ancf

their relative locations, as respects the floor and 
part of the building where they are situated, no 
difficulty will occur in finding them. 

The index at the end of the book will point out 
at a glance the bureau to which every officer named 
is attached, by a reference to the page, which gives 
the number of the room he occupies. 

This edition of the work has been brought out in 
a cheap form, to answer present demands. Should 
it be well received, a larger and more perfect work 
will follow at some future period. 



TREASURY DEPARTMENT. 

The building occupied by this department is 
situated on the east side of the President's square, 
on a line with Fifteenth street; it is built of stone, 
and fire-proof; extending three hundred and thirty-

colonnade in front and portico in the rear, of one 
hundred and ninety feet. Each floor contains forty- 
five apartments, or, in the three stories above the 
basement, one hundred and thirty-five rooms. 

The main entrance is on the east, by a double
